USC linebacker Desman Stephens was ejected for targeting after hitting Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, who was knocked unconscious and taken to a hospital during Saturday’s game. Stephens drew online backlash after celebrating as Moore lay motionless.
The article says the hit came as Moore was sliding and struck his head. Moore was moving his arms and legs as he was loaded into an ambulance for LA General County Hospital; Oregon had not issued an official update on his condition.
The article reports that some Oregon fans posted Stephens’ family home address and made threats in his Instagram comments. Stephens deleted his account from the locker room. Further NCAA or Big Ten punishment was described as possible, but no decision was reported.
